Archive for the ‘Steve Williams’ tag

The story of Steve Williams will probably sound familiar to many of you: Car collector amasses more cars than he could ever restore, and when he dies, the collection gets sold off. This time, at least, Steve’s family is trying to get the cars to other collectors who will appreciate them rather than crush the whole set, and a couple of the cars stand out. First:

1950 Packard Hurst (sic – hearse, unless there’s a fancy chrome shifter in there) with a Straight 8 I believe it is a 356 Thunderbolt two bbl. if you want more photos with it cleaned out contact me and I’ll take more and better pics. I even have a casket see pics in the Ambulance listing coming soon. Open to offers. $5,000

Steve must’ve been on a Packard ambulance/hearse kick, because the collection also includes a

1953 Packard Ambulance. Some body rust front fender at door cool car. I believe it was in the Air Force most of it’s life.

I’m going to assume Henney was the coachbuilder for both of these, but if anybody can prove otherwise (or tell us what the Navy was doing buying Packard ambulances), let us know in the comments.
